From the beginning of this season, one alliance in the House has managed to fairly easily control the game – even when not technically in power. The Level 6 Alliance has had its run of the game, managing to surprise the other side of the House – currently known as The Hive – with eviction after eviction of allies. This past week, the power of L6 proved to be at its peak when enemy Haleigh won HoH and, in a feat of game play mastery, got Haleigh’s ally Rockstar evicted.

It has been a remarkable run of power – but as has been with many a great season, the pendulum had to swing the other way at some point.

Bayleigh’s eviction on Thursday night capped off a week that saw house meetings, an explosive fight, rage and feelings of being persecuted – when in fact, much of the blame for Bayleigh’s eviction could only be placed at her own feet. While the ramifications of the week that was have yet to play out, we have seen a definite end to a major story of the season. However, the end of Bayleigh’s season also comes with a subtle shift in perception about this cast, and the Level 6 Alliance members find themselves in a position to lose dearly if they fail to take heed of the lessons of the past week.

This season has, to date, entertained heavily. With a quarter of the cast gone, Big Brother 20 has become a quick fan favorite while avoiding the pitfalls that have hurt recent seasons of play. There have been lessons that Production seems to have taken to heart, lessons that – in a lesser season – have not always been considered.

With this has come a new fondness of the show and feeds, one that can be lost quite easily if Production falls upon mistakes made in the past.
